Cheney is Wearing a Microphone

[Babsbrain]

Huffington Post has a video of Cheney 'lurking' in the bushes at this A.M.'s new conference.

Link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/thenewswire/archive/../../2007/04/03/cheney-lurks-behind-shrub_n_44924.html



But he is doing more than lurking....he is wearing a microphone.

I used a magnifying glass and saw the mike and the wires around Cheney's tie. Check it out and tell me if that is what you see.
Can anyone enlarge this video and look?

1. Is this why Bush said "I will!" apropos of nothing today?

Q You've talked about the consequences of failure in Iraq, and you've said that enemies would follow us home. I wonder, given that, it seems like that's not exactly a ringing endorsement of people who are charged with the responsibility of keeping America safe. So what --

THE PRESIDENT: What was that again, Ed?

Q Well, you say that the enemies would follow us home --

THE PRESIDENT: I will -- that's what they'll do, just like September the 11th. They plotted, planned, and attacked.

3. Oh no he di-in't! LOL! There are nothing but clowns in the White House!

[helderheid]

37. NO SHIT? LOL!!

:rofl:

[stillcool]

2. I love the title....

"Cheney Lurks Behind Shrub At Bush Press Conference"....so pathetic...like the Three Stooges minus a Stooge.

[Island Blue]

4. There is a still photo of him in this thread

but I don't see a microphone. I wouldn't be surprised if he was wearing one mind you, but I don't see one.

7. It's there

Watch the video on Huffington. I saw the microphone and the wires. It's there!!! I need to find out how to enlarge the video...anyone have suggestions?

Cheney was in the garden for a reason. And there is no doubt there is a mircophone around the top of his tie.

[SoCalDem]

27. I enlarged it..it's sunlight..damn..

:(

[illinoisprogressive]

5. Bush prompting. hahahaha

[AlCzervik]

6. i wonder if Bush's secret service name is Roxanne?

[misanthrope]

16. Uhm, wouldn't it be Christian?...

...For Christian de Neuvillette?

[rosesaylavee]

22. Cheney is no Cyrano!

Polar opposites in fact. Cheney would have to grow a heart first.

[Bucky]

28. I dunno, that nose of his seems to grow longer and longer every time he speaks

[rosesaylavee]

29. Pinocchio then with that nose...

Cyrano was notable for his great integrity and passion for righting injustice. Cheney is the polar opposite of Cyrano.

[Auggie]

8. Looks like a highlight

[Babsbrain]

10. Yes

But highlight of what?

[Auggie]

14. The fold of his tie

[Babsbrain]

15. Why are there wires around his tie?

Enlarge the video...you will see them

[ellenfl]

9. yes, but were his lips moving? eom

[Glimmer of Hope]

11. What is that weird arm movement he does at the beginning?

It looks there could be a mike on his tie.

[sofa king]

19. I don't know, but I sure as hell have seen that before.

Yeah, Godwin blah blah blah. You know what? Fuck Godwin. If we don't keep an eye on these bastards we'll be comparing Hitler to these guys and not the other way around.

[eppur_se_muova]

32. Playing with his joystick? nt

[yourout]

12. More likely a defibrillator

"Jump start my Heart" Cheney does not want to step out in the open for fear of someone taking a shot at him.

[recoveringdittohed]

13. It's McCarthyism

Charlie not Joe

[CrazyOrangeCat]

17. Indeed.

:D

The dummy is a lot more malevolent . . . but the same idea.

[Laurab]

18. KKkarl must have been busy this AM

I thought he was the one who fed shrubbie his lines. I still remember during the debate when * said "let me finish", while no one was interrupting him...

[Virginia Dare]

30. Karl is Jr.'s boy, Cheney's in full charge now..

everybody is clearly answering to him.

[Oilwellian]

20. Here's a close-up....looks like light reflecting off of his tie

[medeak]

23. agree...too many conspiracy theorists here n/t

[Supersedeas]

33. I still think that it is ultra bizarre that he's lurking in the bushes for a Press Conf

[Gregorian]

21. Testing one, two, three- GO FUCK YOURSELF.

Is thing on? One two, one two.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

24. I believe Bush NEVER goes without the mic. His "ughs", "ahems",....

,...pauses, grimaces, laughs,...to me,...gives him away at every so-called 'press conference'.

The only time I've seen Bush speak without pause is when he's presented with a question he can advance the usual 'newspeak' propaganda 9/11 'terra' bullshit.

These people CHEAT CHEAT CHEAT at every whim and moment because, that's how they'be been 'successful'.

They are gross beyond description. And, if I hear one more person say, "oh, they're not immoral,...they're amoral" AS IF AMORAL IS A STEP AHEAD OF RATHER THAN A STEEP DECLINE FROM IMMORAL,...I may very well throw, with all my might, an over-heaping pie of tomatoes at the asshats!!!

:grr:

[hvn_nbr_2]

25. It's just a badly tailored necktie. Design matches Bush's debate jacket. nt

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

26. I can't see the blow-up what you see, but there is no doubt in my mind that someone feeds him

answers. He started at one time to say planted and corrected himself to say planned. When thinking you might mispronounce a word but not use the wrong one. Kind of like when he said peance and freeance.

[Richard Steele]

34. Yup. SEVERAL times, he's made errors which indicate he MISHEARD the word he spoke.

Not to mention the time photographers actually
got photos of his reciever's outline under his jacket...

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

36. And no one, no one, calls him on it. I remember during the second debate with Kerry,

I had so hoped that Kerry would give him a big pat on the back.....

[Marr]

39. I definitely think he was being fed info in the debates.

His verbal goofs were just... odd. Not the usual fumbling- it was more like he was getting frustrated, trying to speak and listen at the same time. And those pauses. Remember when he paused for a long time, looked at the podium, and then said sharply, "gimmee a minute!" to no one in particular?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

40. He still does to a great extent. He has those pauses and will mishear words..you can tell by

his responses. He did it way before the debates too.

[Canuckistanian]

31. "Cheney lurks behind the shrub, both actually and metaphorically."

John Amato's description of Cheney.

[The Witch]

35. I coulda sworn I saw his lips moving

in the first few seconds of that shot...

hrrrrm :evilgrin:

[Marr]

38. Why would he coach GW Bush from out in the open? Doesn't make sense.

I also don't see a microphone.

[Heywood J]

41. He's got to be somewhere close enough to hear

what the questions are - otherwise the pickup on any mike he could conceal on * could run the risk of not picking the question up clearly. If he's right there, he can hear it himself and there's no delay, interference problems, whatever.
